Project Narrative

BENEFITS The project provides trees to landowners’ association with parcels affected by calamities to ensure the land is replanted and not abandoned as it can sometimes be the case. For the majority of the reforested parcels, a local school takes part in the first three days of the planting activities.Approximately 30 children participate per day with a different group each day. With this day spent in the forest, the pupils learn about the importance of trees within their ecosystem. The project raises awareness and fosters ecological responsibility within the local communities.As part of the objective to raise awareness among pupils on the place of trees in the local ecosystems, the project includes the implementation of at least one orchard in a local school per year. The orchard, located in the school compound following the old Saxion tradition, is planted and cared by the pupils and the education staff. The trees are native traditional fruit species to preserve the natural heritage of the region. LOCAL PARTNER: Mihai Eminescu Trust
